[QUOTE="C A Iversen, post: 71720"] I think the odds of something like the fog happening again are hugely low, and Rugby is an all weather sport, but there are limits. SANZAR will certainly look at what happened to the final during their review, as they review EVERY season. I'm pretty sure they want maximum value from every S14 game and will come up with an answer. As highly unlikely as it is to happen again in the next 10 years, who's to say it won't? Surely it wouldn't take long for them to come up with a contingency plan. It's one of those things that you may never need, but you have to have one anyway, like earthquake cover. There are sponsors to please, who pay BIG money for their advertising hoardings to be seen and many other issues. They won't go, "WOW. That was a freakish occurence, it'll [i]never, ever[/i] happen again." It may well not happen again, but the game is big business. They want every possibility covered, and this new oddball situation is no different. Oh, and as for the fog still being there in the afternoon the next day. What a bunch of crap. It was completely clear by late morning! [/QUOTE]
